Some debts demand hefty payment. Some loves are too wild to set free.

Meredith Gray had no choice but to meet with the last man on earth she ever wanted to see again. He ruined her once, and now he was threatening the livelihood of the thousands of people employed at her stepfather’s company.

The last time she saw him, he’d lied to her face and broke her heart. Would she remain unscathed this time around? Meredith could only hope.

Josef Aziz had a reputation for stealth and lethality. After he was dishonorably discharged from the military, he found himself in the employ of the Dark Wolf. Nowadays, Josef had his own security firm, with Volkov Industries as his only client. Worth billions, he could have retired already, but with no family and no wife, there was no reason to.

Once upon a time, he thought he’d have all of that and more. But betrayal was a hard lesson he learned at the hands of the woman who was now at his mercy. He never thought he would see her again, but now he had her right where he wanted her.

She needed help only he could deliver, but seeing her beg was not enough. He needed her so addicted she could not survive without his touch.

There were no lengths he wouldn’t go to secure his seduction of her.
